Shapeshifting Prankster or Spiritual Lesson? The Legend of the Noppera-bō (Episode #57)
Yokai have been used to explain natural phenomena, entertain through storytelling, and even serve as moral lessons in Japanese folklore.

Or are they a reflection of social and environmental changes in Japan? -------------------- MUSIC Theme Music by Dethlehem (dethlehem.bandcamp.com) -------------------- SOCIAL LINKS Website: www.mysteriouspals.comEmail: mysteriouspalsonline@gmail.comYoutube: @MysteriousPalsFacebook: @mysteriouspalsInstagram: @mysteriouspalsX/Twitter: @mysterious_palsPodcast Feeds: www.mysteriouspals.com -------------------- EPISODE RESOURCES Foster, Michael Dylan. *Pandemonium and Parade: Japanese Monsters and the Culture of Yokai*.
